\ BOOM.-That the South is on the
eve of an industrial boom is apparent
from the enterprise manifested in
various localities in publishing and
sending out large editions of papers
descriptive of town and country inter-
estS. This is the only way to attract
attention. A merchant may have
ever so fine a stock ofgoods, ifhe does
not bring it to the attention of the
public his sales will be small. So with
the advantages and inducements of
cities and towns. Hide them under a
bushel or keep a standing wall OF
prejudice and want of push around
them, and they'll stand forever. But
open wide the gates of welcome, blow
loud the horns of plenty, and capital
and enterprise will respond. This is
what many Southern papers are do

Col. Kyd Douglas gave the follow
ing piece of advice to the graduating
students of a Baltimore Medical Col
lege:
A young preacher ought to get along
without wife, young lawyer might
try, but a single young physician
won't do. Solomon said: Blessed is
the man who has virtuous wife, for
his days shall be doubled There is
something of hyperbole in this, for
had Solomon's life multiplied by the
number of his wives, he would be
living yet.
No! The " bustle' would have
killed him long ago. Solomon was
wise, and to him there was nothing
new under the sun, but the feminine
fashions give the theory another as
pect, fatal to longevity.
